What Is Radiant Barrier?
Radiant barrier is a reflective material, often a specialized type of aluminum foil, installed in buildings to reflect radiant heat, enhancing energy efficiency and comfort.

- Heat Reflection: Reflects up to 97% of radiant heat, preventing its absorption through the roof.
- Lifespan: Remains effective for decades when properly maintained.
